5/5!
I like the 80s style in this song ! It's a very good song ! :O
It reminds me "The Mysterious cities of gold" with the synthwave.

Thanks RyeAkai!
As an 80s child, it's full of nostalgia (that I can never let go of)!
Whoah, this sounds incredibly clean! It has a bit of Depeche Mode in it, gotta love it ^^
Excellent job!

Wow, I'm digging this! :D Thanks for the review!
I like the atmosphere at the beginning. The piece is catchy, and I applaud you for avoiding 4/4. The production is very clean, although that bass synth is a little generic. Still, I thought a lot of your leads were rather refreshing. There’s a lot of tension in this piece between the ascending synth lines and somewhat ambivalent melodies (not cheerful, but not dark either). I think this piece might also need some more shape structurally. It has a sense of continuity that adds to the tension, but there’s never really anything particularly cathartic or contrasting in the dynamics, phrasing, or otherwise. I think it needed more of a bridge or breakdown - right now it feels uniformly spacious and thick texturally. The modulation at 3:18 helped channel the energy a bit, but it didn’t add much new to the piece from a texture standpoint. I also thought the ending was a bit lazy, as fadeout-esque techniques usually are. Overall, the atmosphere is really cool here, and the melodic elements of this piece are really strong. This is an enjoyable piece. Keep it up, EvilRaccoon! ;)
8.75/10
